Hi,

This M code works

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Data"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom.2", each Text.Middle([Date],3,2)&"/"&Text.Start([Date],3)&"/"&"20"&Text.End([Date],2)),
    #"Changed Type with Locale" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom2", {{"Custom.2", type date}}, "en-IN")
in
    #"Changed Type with Locale"

Hope this helps.

Have you tried to change the data type in 'Editing Quires'? It works on my end. Thanks.

@ryan_mayu,

Below specified date value is coming from a field, have created a calculated column to get the required part like "Sep1218", after that tried to change the data type and does not work for me.

Hi @Anonymous,

AFAIK, dax formula has datevalue function which can convert text value to date but it only support convert text format date value.

According to your snapshot, I found your filed values seems not same as valid text format date values, I'd like to suggest you do some additional steps to use datevalue to convert original text column.

Column = DATEVALUE(LEFT([MonthYear],3)&"/"&RIGHT([MonthYear],4))

Please try to create another column to transform the data. Hope this is helpful.Thanks.

DATE = 
VAR Y=RIGHT(Sheet7[Column1],4)
VAR M=LEFT(Sheet7[Column1],3)
VAR MONTHNUMBER=SWITCH(M,"JAN",1,"FEB",2,"MAR",3,"APR",4,"MAY",5,"JUN",6,"JUL",7,"AUG",8,"SEP",9,"OCT",10,"NOV",11,"DEC",12)
RETURN DATE(Y,MONTHNUMBER,01)
